About Me

Hi, I am Ashton Paul – a developer and software engineer. I was introduced to computers as a pre-teen and have never turned back yet. I have been doing computer programming since high school and more specifically web development since 2003 while I attended college. Since then, my career has spanned many different projects and programming technologies. I enjoy the work that I do, both freelance and full-time. As a developer I specialize in full-stack, highly scalable, real-time applications. I am always interested in challenging myself and learning new technologies.

When I am not being a developer, designing or hanging with the family, I am usually either playing/watching basketball, in the gym, listening to music, or catching a good movie.

What others say about me

Ashton has been a total and pleasure to work with. His hard work, patience, professionalism, and attention to detail continuously exceeds expectations. He never once made me feel like I was pestering him with questions, any ideas I had he would expand on them to make them better, and his attitude was always positive and upbeat. We always feel like our site is priority number one, as he continues providing services for hosting.

Working with Ashton has been one of the most positive professional experiences I’ve had as a marketing consultant. He made me feel like our project was his most important. Not only is he extremely talented and knowledgeable about every aspect of website development and marketing, but his level of professionalism is rare in any field. Calls and emails were promptly responded to, and the site was completed quicker than we had initially discussed and with perfect precision. He went above and beyond our original agreement to make sure I was happy with every detail of the site.
